Italy passes measures to allow anti-abortion activists to enter abortion clinics. This is a prime example of why we need Safe Access Zones NOW!

Doctors still face up to 14 years in prison if they provide abortion care outside the very specific circumstances laid out in Irish law

Abortion is healthcare, and no part of its provision should be criminalised

#AbortionIsHealthcare

6 years on from Repeal, and we hear from someone in Ireland every other day.

But why are people still being forced to travel for abortions? 🧵

Abortion Working Group letter to An Taoiseach @SimonHarris demanding urgent implementation of the recommendations of the Abortion Review.

After a whole year, why are we still waiting?

5 years on from the abortion referendum and still women are travelling abroad to access care because they are excluded here. The #RTEInvestigates documentary from Aoife Hegarty is giving those people a badly needed voice. This is not what we voted for.

The Irish government clearly must take action on abortion laws. Until then, our brilliant helpline team will be here to help anyone who has to travel #RTÉInvestigates

Compelling #RTEInvestigates expose of appalling, heart-wrenching impacts of the gaps & failures of our #abortion law and services, including non-regulation of horrendous rogue 'counselling' agencies.

The Govt must act now to implement the #AbortionReview recommendations.

We were very moved by the stories on #RTEInvestigates last night.

We're also so proud of our brilliant helpline volunteer Vicki, who talked about the work we do to ease some of the burden on those who have to travel.

Today is Global Day to Destigmatise Abortions. 5 years on from the implementation of abortion legislation in the Republic of Ireland, we are still demanding for them to be free, safe, legal, local and accessible. #DestigmatizeAbortions #March28

Film screening of The 8th followed by panel discussion in the Lighthouse Cimena, April 8th at 5.30pm.
Six years since the Irish public voted to repeal the 8th amendment, this film looks at the campaign, and the journey towards progress and change. globalhealth.ie/ighn-film-scre…

Our Co-convenor took part in the #StandTogether demonstration in Dublin on Saturday. Great to see such huge support for accessible housing and healthcare, and an end to racism and hate. #DiversityNotDivision

Many voted YES to stop exporting these tragic cases, and yet 5 years later little has changed. The Review Recommendations will be debated soon. We need to send a strong message to our TDs, we want accessible care at home. No one should be forced to travel.

*********SAFE ACCESS ZONES*********

We’re one step closer today

Our thanks to the absolute heroes from all parties and none who work tirelessly to get this through each stage - nearly there 💪
